Adolescence is the developmental transition to adulthood that includes rapid changes in the brain and body, often at different rates and is a time for healthy exploration of identity and learning independence. It can also be a stressful or challenging for teens because of these rapid changes. Adolescents need care that is geared specifically to their needs and is distinct from services provided to adults or young children. Young adulthood is a critical time of transition and growth, which can bring about a range of challenges and stressors. These may include navigating higher education or entering the workforce, establishing independence, forming relationships, and dealing with the pressures of  societal expectations.
